Woody Hayes tops ESPN's list of top-5 Ohio State football coaches of all-time

This week ESPN's Big Ten blog is taking a look at the top-5 coaches all-time for each Big Ten program, and today Brian Bennett dove into the best coaches in Ohio State history. The Buckeyes have had 24 head coaches in school history, but has only had six head coaches since 1951. Five of those six head coaches fill out the list, with the only coach not making the list being Luke Fickell, who was named interim head coach for the 2011 season following the resignation of Jim Tressel. It should come as no surprise that Woody Hayes tops the list of Ohio State head coaches, after he led the Buckeyes to five national titles and 13 Big Ten championships.
